Madison Police Chief Angered Over Governor's Comments

MADISON, Wis. -- Madison Police Chief Noble Wray said he wants some answers from Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

This comes after a prank phone call was released online on Wednesday, during which the caller, posing as conservative businessman and Walker supporter David Koch, asked Walker if he had thought about the possibility of planting people in the crowd to cause trouble during peaceful protests at the state Capitol during the past two weeks.

In response to prankster's question, Walker said: "You know, well the -- the only problem -- because we thought about that … My only fear would be is that if there was a ruckus caused is that would scare the public into thinking the governor's got to settle to avoid all these problems. Where I've said, 'We can handle this. This is Madison, full of the '60s liberals. Let 'em protest.'"

“I spent a good deal of time overnight thinking about Governor Walker’s response, during his news conference yesterday, to the suggestion that his administration ‘thought about’ planting troublemakers among those who are peacefully protesting his bill. I would like to hear more of an explanation from Governor Walker as to what exactly was being considered, and to what degree it was discussed by his cabinet members. I find it very unsettling and troubling that anyone would consider creating safety risks for our citizens and law enforcement officers. Our department works hard dialoging with those who are exercising their First Amendment right, those from both sides of the issue, to make sure we are doing everything we can to ensure they can demonstrate safely. I am concerned that anyone would try to undermine these relationships. I have a responsibility to the community, and to the men and women of this department - who are working long hours protecting and serving this community – to find out more about what was being considered by state leaders," Wray said in a statement.

when these idiots think they are talking to each other. How entitled Walker must feel about his position to banter about causing violence. What in the hell have we done to this country by having these people elected to office? I know we didn't vote for them, but someone did. and I just have to believe that there are some unhappy voters right now who feel they are responsible.

Oh..hell...who am I kidding...most of the people who voted for Walker probably don't care.

Solidarity with the Unions...and kudos to the police chief who has questioned Walker's statement.

. . .they treated the Sheriff in Tucson.

See Greatest Page.

I had scanned the forum for this story before I posted, but didn't see it.

:hi:

Couple that asshole with the Deputy Attorney General from Indiana and the two of them could create their own government crackdown on protest. HELL they might even hang a few of them from lamp post.

:wtf:
